Bosch PS31-2A 12V Max Cordless Lithium-Ion 3/8 in. Drill Driver

We want to pass on our savings to our customers, so we've lowered the price of this item. However, since our price is now below the manufacturer's suggested retail price, we are restricted by the manufacturer from showing the price right away.

I'm building a model railroad and the Bosch is about perfect. It's lightweight, has plenty of torque to drive screws into wood, on high it has the RPMs (1350) to drill wood well, it has the worklight built in, it's very compact, but much more powerful than I expected. The adjustable clutch may be the best of any drill I've tried, including 18 and 24 volt "yellow" and "turquoise" brand drills. The entire drill is almost smaller than some 18 volt battery packs and weighs less than most of them. Don't plan on driving 1/4"x5" lag screws all day with this drill, that's not what it's made for. But for around the house, hobbies, DIY, and light to medium jobs, especially in those tight places, this is the ticket. Women and older guys without strong wrists will like that it doesn't give the torque reaction most drills do, even though it has more inch-pounds of torque than similar drills. The little battery packs last about as long as other 12 volt drill batteries do, and they do recharge from "dead" in less than 30 minutes, which should be before you're ready for it. These same batteries fit several other Bosch cordless tools too. This won't replace the "big-dog" 18-24 volt drills, but it'll fit in your pocket and go in places they won't, and light up that screw you can only feel the head of. This and a corded drill is all I need for now.

Bought a few of the Bosch 12v products based on CPO's price and a friend who swears by Bosch. I love the Makita, but figured that for the price I couldn't get too hurt....turns out I stowed my 18v Makita and use this little Bosch. Love it to death, and the multi tool too.

Hardcore DIY remodeling, no problem driving 3" screws all day with 2 batteries. 30 min. charge. Gets in small places, 2 speed, lots of torque and control. I am very happy, especially for the price from CPO Bosch

I got this primarily for final cabinet assembly, and it preforms admirably for that task. Then had the opportunity to try it on a little heavier work . . . screwing down metal roofing . . . it's a bit slow for that type work, but all-in-all a decent small drill that I will find useful in tight places.

This was to be a useful around the house drill and sometimes travel with it for work since it is small and light. It started acting up fairly quickly but then would act ok again. Then it stopped having a variable speed and the LED battery indicator would intermittently light up. Then it just locked up and refused to work again. I was told to talk to Bosch and they ignore all requests to talk about the drill. NEVER will buy from here or Bosch again!!!!

This is a great drill. I use it mainly for light work but it can drive a 3 inch screw through 2x if it has to. It's a well balanced, small drill that feels solid. It feels like it will last a long time.

It makes for a great part of a portable kit when you don't want/need the 18volt.

It has battery indicator lights, 2 speed settings and an led that helps you see what you're doing. I ran into this on a job site and it quickly became my favorite - I bought one for my freelance jobs.

I've used the Bosch 10.8v driver to drive screws for about 3 years and the only complaint I ever had with that tool was that it had pretty low RPM when I needed to drill an occasional hole. This tool solves that problem.

After buying the driver and right angle versions of this drill adding the new version with a chuck was an easy decision. I was amazed when I put a 3/8 bit in the chuck and drilled out a hole in 1/4 thick steel. It went right thru without stalling or grabbing. The battery life meter on the side of the tool works well, that is a big advantage before you crawl into a tight place to work.

Of the many drills accumulated over the years used for driving scews, this one is the first one I pick up now. I have driven 4" wood screws with almost effortless ease in an extremely fast fashion. It also has proved very useful in removing those screws that are difficult to extract sometimes. It is so much lighter than those 18v units and much easier to handle in tight spots. I have recommended this tool to at least six of my fellow do-it-yourself friends and contractors.

I bought this product with my own use in mind. I would keep it in the shop and the rest of my tools would go out with the boys. The boys thought it was delicate and small. They did not try it. I kept it for myself. Then the wife came along. It is now at home in the household tool box. I still get to use it, not as often as I would like, but the wife loves the size and the fact that it has the power to drive the screws but not so fast that it jumps out of her hands or off the screws. Nice job Bosch.

I use this tool everyday at work and most weekends at home. The batteries hold charge for hundreds of 5/16 TEK screws ... lasts so long I forget it needs to be recharged ... Has enough power to drill stainless sheet metal like countertops in restaurants. Fits in my tool bag without making it too heavy to carry up an extension ladder or inside roof hatch.

Batteries really do recharge in 20 minutes and last for years, hundreds and hundreds of recharges and still seem like new.

Although reconditioned, the entire package looks new and appears as if never used. However, of greater importance than appearance to me is the minimization of resources needed to produce this tool. The drill is exactly what I expected from Bosch: a well-designed, high-quality tool.

I ordered this because of the price compared to new. I saved $50. I received the drill/driver in 4 days. It looked like a new tool. I have only had it for about 2 weeks but I haven't had any problems with it yet. Some commments I read prior to ordering said the battery lasts forever between charges. I do not agree with that but they are comparable with other lithium batteries I've had in the past. I drove quite a few 2 1/2" screws into 2"X4" lumber and had plenty of power for that. I would recommend CPO and this tool to others.

I have been in the cabinet business 35 years I had electric drills in the 70's,then moved into battery power in 80's to makita,the long tube battery.In the 90'S switched to Dewalt,because thier trim saw(936}was the best for installing cabinets,so got the 18v drill(to heavy to work with).I now have switched every drill I have to bosch,shop and installation.I am now using 2-ps41,ps20,ps21,ps10,ps30 and ps31,I Love them all.

Aleady owned the bosch 12v hex driver but needed something with a chuck. This little devil is a home run! You can tell the quality of it the first time u pull the trigger. The motor just sounds QUALITY vs the skill, and black&decker stuff I have owned before. Refurbished is the way to go on these bosch hand held tools.

This was a refurbished drill. There were some use marks, but overall the unit was very clean. My first project involved drilling about a dozen holes in some 1/8" stainless sheetmetal for latch screws. The compact size and power was great for the project and the battery went the distance.

I'm a Major Appliances Technician and obviously, the price was the main reason for me to make this purchase and I'm very impressed with what I have received. The piece, its parts and pouch are as new as if I got it brand new from the store. It works great so far and I think I made a great deal for half of a price. Thumbs up.

This is my 4th Bosch 12v cordless drill. I absolutely love it in the shop and on the road.All of my employees love using it and keep requesting one.I have bought all refurbished and have had no problems at all.
